The University of Liverpool has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Roche Diagnostics UK & Ireland to advance research and innovation for improved health and community prosperity. The two organisations share a longstanding history of collaboration spanning decades, working in key areas in which the University has significant research excellence, including #Biomarkers, #PopulationHealth, #Automation and #DigitalHealth. An example is Professor Sarah Coupland, MBBS, PhD, FRCPath, FRCOphth (Hon), Lead of the Liverpool Ocular Oncology Research Group, who has worked with Roche for the past five years, via an InnovateUK digital pathology project involving six northern universities, developing algorithms for morphological interpretation. This partnership is part of a broader effort, working closely with the NHS, and the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA), to maximise the potential of the LCR Health and Life Science Investment Zone. Under the MoU, the University and Roche Diagnostics UK and Ireland will further expand interactions across various research disciplines and strategic innovation priorities. One exciting future initiative is a collaboration with the University's Civic Health Innovation Labs (CHIL) to launch the world’s first design studio dedicated to maximising the value of real-world diagnostic solutions to population health. Professor Tim Jones, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Liverpool, and Chris Hudson, Director of Access and Innovation at Roche Diagnostics UK and Ireland, signed the MoU during a celebratory event at the Materials Innovation Factory (MIF).
